management of NECs PASOLINK and PASOLINK+ radio transmission network. The PNMT is a scaled down version of PASOLINK Network Management System (PNMS) that is designed as a maintenance tool for field engineers to locally and remotely monitor alarms, control points, generate repots, and archive data, all within a familiar graphical user interface, and all in real time. The PNMT is a Mobile laptop computer fitted with NEC PNMT software package that interfaces and controls NEC PASOLINK series short haul radio equipment.This Windows-NT/98 based software package remote monitors and controls the status and configuration of an entire PASOLINK network with associated equipment as well as the performance of the actual microwave links.Conventions Used in this Manual1FontWhat the Font RepresentsExampleItalicFor manual titles or related document names.Please refer to PASOLINK Operation Manual for details.HostnameBoldItems on the user interface.

The PNMT Port has the following properties: Port Configuration: Connector type: Bit per second rate: Stop bits: Data bit length:RS-232RJ-45 modular jack1200/2400/4800/9600/19200 (default 19200)18 Parity:no parity.2Fig. 1: Connecting the PNMT to Pasolink+ IDUIDU PNMT portPasolink+ IDUPNMT CablePNMTROI-S04060The following table is the pin assignment of the connection between the IDU PNMTPort and PNMT PC.PNMT portCabling diagram between PNMT PC and PNMT port3PNMT(PC) to Pasolink+ (PNMT port)3M9pin(F) RJ45PC (PNMT) Pasolink+RS-232C RS-232C1 DCD 1 1 1 CD2 RXD 2 2 2 TXD3 TXD 3 3 3 RXD4 DTR 4 4 4 DSR5 GND 5 5 5 GND6 DSR 6 6 6 DTR7 RTS 7 7 7 CTS8 CTS 8 8 8 RTS9 RI 9ROI-S040601.2Hardware Configuration for Mobile Terminal (PNMT)Recommended PNMT mobile PC configuration:Laptop PC with TFT DISPLAY (IBM PC or compatible)CPU:RAM: HDD: FDD:Pentium-II 500 or higher128 MB or more5 GB or more3.5 x 1CD-ROM:8 X or higherDisplay: 800x600 Screen area (16-bit color)Integrated Sound Card + Speaker1.3Software Configuration for Mobile terminal (PNMT)All structured and modular programs used in PNMT are resident in the hard disk and RAM of the personal computer. The Windows operating system is employed which is capable of multi-task processing using the Pentium microprocessor. The PNMT software basically consist of two parts, the operating system and the application programs .The operating system-Windows 98 (English Version) or-Windows NT Workstation Ver4.0 (English Version)-Windows 2000 (English Version)The application programs-PNMT softwareOther applications:-Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher-Acrobat Reader (to read Help File with PDF)4ROI-S04060This chapter explains the menu structure and procedures for operating of the PNMT.The explanation uses typical PNMT screens to illustrate the hierarchy of menu.2.1The PNMT ScreenThe PNMT window is comprised of the following main parts (Refer to figure 1). For detailed descriptions, refer to the Users Manual for the Windows NT operating system.Title barThe title bar of the window is used to indicate the title of the window.Common Menu barThe common menu bar of the window presents the System and Help options,illustrates the commands that can be executed from the various options. The Help function also can display the html version of this operation manual.NE-specific Menu barThis menu is a list of tasks that can be performed to the specific network element(NE) displayed in the PNMT. Configuration, Event Log, and Link Performance Monitor functions can be executed in the NE-specific Menu bar.Block DiagramThe block diagram illustrates the equipments of the PASOLINK Radio system. Itsmain purpose in the window is to display the current summary alarm state of the equipment. You can click on a specific block to display the status of equipment in thedata window.Data windowThis window displays in detail the status and alarm items of a specific equipment ofthe NE. You can select the tab or the block of the specific equipment you want to monitor in the data window.TabsTo view the status and alarms in the PASOLINK radio, click on the tab at the bottom of the Data window.Command ButtonThe command button is used to enter the data selected on the pop-up window intothe computer.Selectable FieldThe selectable field is a standard Windows input field where the user can scroll downon a list of values available for that option.Login UserThis indicates the current user that logged-in in the PNMT.52 System Operation & MaintenanceROI-S04060Title BarNE-Specific Menu BarBlock DiagramCommonMenu BarCommonTool BarDataWindowTabsLogin UserSelectable FieldCommand ButtonFig. 1: Common Parts of a Window6ROI-S040602.2Launching the PNMT application.To start PNMT:1.Power ON the system.NOTEConnect the RS-232C cable 30seconds after IDU'spower is ON and make sure that the RS-232C cable is connected between Com 1 of the PNMT PC andthe PNMT Port of the IDU.2.Login to Windows 2000/NT/98 Workstation.

If the HK-OUTs are enabled, RL08 to RL11 are allocated for Housekeeping (HK) alarms.The PNMT allows the user to configure the relays in a table format. The columns indicate the relays (RL01 to RL11) and the rows indicate the parallel alarms available in the PASOLINK+ IDU. The following indicators are used in the table:Out indicates that the alarm - in the corresponding row, is issued on the corresponding relay. HK Indicates that the corresponding relay is used for House Keeping.Mask Indicates that no alarm is issued in the corresponding relay when the maintenance mode is activated. Blank button not related to the corresponding alarm.24ROI-S04060To set the relay configuration:1.Click [Relay Configuration] button in Aux. I/O window.Select the HK-OUT used in the IDU.
